Imagine Reducing both Property and Violent Crime

Kennesaw's Universal Gun Law Intimidates Hardened Criminals

Senior politicians have a posse of guards around them wherever they go, and those guards have guns. Why? Are they telling you the truth when THEY have guns to protect them but say YOU don't need a gun to protect you? It's hypocritical to say do as I say but not as I do.

Violent crime is on the increase, yet there's a very simple way to protect you and your loved ones from criminals and gun violence. Since actions speak louder than words, realize the deceit of any politician who wants you disarmed and vulnerable. The solution is obvious: arm yourself - take responsibility for your family's safety!

Support your Sheriff

The Founding Fathers understood that nobody would be safe without the means to defend and protect their rights. When a society does not possess the means to defend itself itself it's ripe for criminal violence and ripe for government oppression. Sheriffs agree, see Colorado Sheriff Shayne Heap's video (6:04 mins).

Your sheriff was elected to create and maintain a safe environment, to protect and serve your community, and to guarantee your rights under the Constitution. The more households with guns, the more people can defend themselves and since hardened criminals fear armed citizens they leave to go and live somewhere else.

He can't do the job alone. Your sheriff needs your support to be successful in his solemn and sacred responsibilities. How can you help him? Teach your family in the safe use of your own firearms. Your guns reduce criminal activity for your whole community so support passing Universal Gun Ownership.

A Gun Protects You and your Loved Ones

"Murder rates fall as the number of adults carrying concealed handguns increases."

It went on to find:

"The six states that allow people to carry concealed handguns without a permit have much lower murder and violent crime rates than the six states which try to stop people having concealed handguns."

The Harvard University Academic Study

Dr. ‪Don Kates‬ is one of the foremost criminologists and scholars on the Second Amendment, the fundamental rights to self-defense and bear arms. A renowned civil rights advocate, Professor Kates has published numerous criminological reviews on gun control laws and their ineffectiveness in reducing violent crime.

Dr. Gary A. Mauser is Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Professor Mauser has conducted research on the politics and effectiveness of gun control laws for many years. His interest in firearms and “gun control” grew out of his research into Political Marketing and Manipulating Public Opinion.

Professors Kates and Mauser investigated the Democrats' mantra that "more guns mean more deaths." It does NOT - firearms protect you from gun violence. Their claim that the US has the industrialized world’s highest murder rate is also false, it is "politically motivated". More findings from the world-wide scholarly study at Harvard University Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder And Suicide? are:

Violent Crimes Decrease as More Citizens have Guns

US laws permitting millions of qualified citizens to carry guns have been followed by statistically significant reductions in murder and gun violence.

"During the last quarter of the 2000 century, the murder rate declined 27.7% while the number of handguns owned by Americans increased 160%."

Violent crime rates are highest in states that flatly ban carrying concealed weapons, next highest in those that allow local authorities discretion to deny permits, and lowest in states where police are legally required to license every qualified applicant.

Since guns laws contravene the Second Amendment - which "shall not be infringed" - law-abiding citizens are forced to decide which to follow. Responsible citizens will obey the Constitution and ignore gun bans and controls, encouraging yet more disrespect for politicians and their ever-changing unconstitutional laws.

More Guns Result in LESS Murders

Developed countries with high rates of gun ownership have murder rates lower than those which ban guns.

"Luxembourg, where handguns are totally banned and ownership of any kind of gun is minimal, had a murder rate nine times higher than Germany in 2002."

Data on gun ownership by area in both the USA and England show “negative correlation,” which means: "where firearms are most dense violent crime rates are lowest, and where guns are least dense violent crime rates are highest." The British gun ban's damaging impact on crime was dramatic:

"By the year 2000, violent crime had so increased that England and Wales had Europe’s highest violent crime rate, far surpassing even the United States."

Violent crime resulting in psychological injury costs $47,000 for each rape. $15,000 for assault, and $19,000 for robbery. The costs are higher for survivors with physical injury: Each rape cost the victim $60,000, assault costs $22,000, and robbery costs $25,000.

One of your family could be next and it'll cost you thousands of dollars. Kennesaw's Universal Gun Ownership law has a proven track record, it makes your neighborhood lots safer - even when you're not around. Can you and your neighbors afford NOT to do everything possible to protect your loved ones?

Criminals Fear Victims who might be Armed

Large percentages of felons reply that they often aborted gun violence because they feared potential victims might be armed.

"The felons most frightened about confronting an armed victim were those from states with the greatest relative number of privately owned firearms."

Gun ownership was found to be "the reverse of the way in which criminal behavior is distributed” which disproves the endlessly-repeated mantra that more guns equal more death. Guns make criminals think twice about the risks of assaulting you - another way that guns save lives.

In 1982, the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a gun law - all households must have a firearm with ammunition - unless you're a conscientious objector or can't afford it. This law has reduced violent crime in Kennesaw by 89 percent, compared to the modest 10 percent drop statewide.

CityRating report Kennesaw's violent crime rate as 85.15% lower than Georgia in 2010 and 85.16% lower than the US national rate. The strikingly low gun violence has attracted both people and jobs, over 30,000 now call this city home. "Companies have said they want to be located in conservative areas," says Cobb Chamber of Commerce President Bill Cooper. "Kennesaw is home to more manufacturing businesses than any other Cobb city."

(a) In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.

(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households who are paupers or who conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.

Sec. 34-22. Use of firearms.

No person shall fire a gun, pistol or other firearm in the city, except in the defense of person or property, and except peace officers or military forces of this state or the United States, in the discharge of official duties.

Picture your Neighborhood Safe and Free from Violent Crime...

How can you help your sheriff pass Universal Gun Ownership (UGO) successfully? What do your county's legal experts recommend to pass this law locally? Those wanting your family defenseless will no doubt put up determined opposition, so it needs to be approved by voters. Call your local NRA to help pass UGO in your community. Will any candidates help make UGO law at the next election?

It's simple to decrease violent crime by 89%. Pass the UGO law: all households must have a gun - unless they don't want to! Then enjoy the results. Watch both the violent crime rate and property crime drop dramatically as hardened criminals fear for their safety - and leave town. How can you lose?

As President John F. Kennedy said, "If not now, when? If not you, who?"

Food for Thought

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . .

"Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

Thomas Jefferson – 3rd President of the United States, American Founding Father, principal author of the Declaration of Independence.

"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."The Dalai Lama.
